Newspaper Calls Election for Clinton in Echo of Truman Blunder
Donald Trump's election victory was a surprise to many people around the world — not least to the readers of a Turkish newspaper that mistakenly called the result for Hillary Clinton early Wednesday.
Tabloid Posta printed the headline "CLINTON PRESIDENT" on its front page, over the sub-heading "The polls weren't wrong" and a picture of the Democratic nominee smiling.
The "Dewey Defeats Truman" moment came as Turkish newspapers were going to print at about 2 a.m. Wednesday local time (6 p.m. ET Tuesday).
It echoed the Chicago Daily Tribune's 1948 front page headline "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" which incorrectly suggested President Harry Truman had lost.
Posta's front page was shared on social media in Turkey. "Hang on to a fantasy," quipped Twitter user Aslihan Tumer.

Trump's White House Win Was Foreshadowed by 'Brexit': Expert
While Donald Trump's presidential victory left pundits and pollsters flabbergasted, some experts have suggested that the foreshocks of this political earthquake were apparent months ago, thousands of miles across the Atlantic.
Just like the U.S. race, Britain's "Brexit" referendum saw voters reject an establishment campaign that for months had led in the polls.
What tripped up the pollsters during the U.K. vote was an unexpectedly high turnout among white working-class voters. Many people within this demographic said they were angry with a complacent political establishment for putting a project of globalization and immigration ahead of their communities.
Although hows and whys of the U.S. presidential vote will be analyzed for months, the NBC News Exit Poll suggested these same grievances formed some of the main drivers of Hillary Clinton's crushing loss.
"Undeniably Brexit was a foreshadowing of what happened in the U.S. last night," Ben Page, chief executive of British pollster IPSOS Mori, told NBC News on Wednesday.
It was not the first time these parallels have been drawn, with Michael Moore among the commentators predicting the forces of Brexit would secure a Trump victory.
On Wednesday this prediction was realized. According to the exit poll, white voters without a college degree broke for Trump by a huge 30 points in the Rust Belt swing states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. This demographic was underrepresented by pollsters because they haven't voted in such large numbers before.
Although the parallels are clear, the bigger picture is likely more nuanced, according to Page.
"The simple narrative is that this vote is the revenge of the white working class, but it's a bit more complicated than that," he explained. "It's clearly part of the story but it's not exhaustive. For example, it looks like more Hispanics voted for Trump than voted for [2012 Republican nominee Mitt] Romney, so we need to look at the whole picture."
President Obama Called Donald Trump After Upset Victory
President Barack Obama tried to reach Donald Trump just as Republican winner was taking his victory lap, the Republican's campaign said.
"He called when Mr. Trump was on stage," campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told NBC News.
Obama and his wife Michelle had aggressively campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the final days before the election, holding rallies in a number of key battleground states where the Democratic nominee was eventually unable to hold.
The out-going president addressed Clinton supporters in Michigan, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania in the final election sprint. But ultimately results in those states were either carried by Trump or are still too close to call.
